In Corinth, Jason abandoned Medea for the king's daughter, Glauce.
According to the tragic poet Euripides, Medea murdered her two children by Jason.
Before the fifth century BC there seems to have been two variants of the myth's conclusion. According to the 7th-century BC poet Eumelus, Medea killed her children by accident.
The poet Creophylus, however, blamed their murders on the citizens of Corinth. Medea's deliberate murder of her children, is Euripides' invention which later writers copied.
